Venting.

[Sakura No Kaze]

Today's the last time that I played any type of game on my phone. SWGOH has frustrated me to a point where I literally shattered my phone display. It still works, but this will NEVER happen on any device again, be it PC, phone or whatever. I'm so tired of this....it's the second time, and it definitely is the last time. I cannot afford a new one, and my insurance can't replace it with the same model. Galaxy S6 Edge's aren't common anymore...

Need time for myself the next days. Won't be active here.

I'll be the brave one and ask what SWGOH did to make you that angry? I still play it (although I'm looking for a decent guild. The one I'm in now is better than nothing, but not by much.) and it rarely makes me angry. Maybe it's because I understand that because I spend no money at all on it there is a limit to how far I can go/what I can accomplish and I've accepted that.

It's this [CENSORED] PvP. I will never understand where people get so many mods with 20+ Speed, making any team (no matter if it's normal PvP or Ship PvP) impossible to beat, no matter how good your own teams are. Some have teams with 280+ Speed - my fastest has 276, all others are way below 230, and I cannot improve them because I spend so much credits and energy on farming, slicing and leveling mods, it can't be just bad RNG anymore, it's something else as well...and I'm pretty sure it's illegal. Maybe 1 out of 100 mods has similar stats than those I see on my opponents, but they have every char equipped with these. How? That's what upsets me. Even with spending thousands of $$$ you can't cheat RNG, only by illegal means.

I'm F2P as well, and I know that it takes far more time for us to get a good endgame roster, but still...

Edit: Just to show what I mean (value "Speed"):

Player "Draconum" (Power 117.276)
Lead: Commander Luke Skywalker -> Gear XII, 2 Zetas, Speed 291 (+139), 4x Speed + 2x Health Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 25 Speed, 1x 23 Speed, 1x 20 Speed, 1x 19 Speed, 1x 16 Speed, Primary Mod Stat: 1x 32 Speed)
Grand Admiral Thrawn -> Gear XIII, Relic 3, 2 Zetas, Speed 219 (+109), 2x Defense + 4x Speed Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 20 Speed, 1x 14 Speed, 1x 12 Speed, 1x 9 Speed, 1x 7 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)
Raid Han Solo -> Gear XII, 1 Zeta, Speed 260 (+124), 2x Crit Chance + 4x Crit Damage Mod Type: 1x Crit Damage (Secondary Stat: 1x 25 Speed, 1x 21 Speed, 1x 20 Speed, 1x 15 Speed 1x 13 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)
Chewbacca -> Gear XII, 2 Zetas, Speed 232 (+95), 4x Crit Damage + 2x Tenacity Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 2x 16 Speed, 1x 14 Speed, 1x 10 Speed, 1x 9 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)
R2-D2 -> Gear XII, 2 Zetas, Speed 264 (+107), 4x Speed + 2x Health Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 15 Speed, 1x 14 Speed, 1x 13 Speed, 1x 11 Speed, 1x 9 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)

Me (Power 125.731)
Lead: Emperor Palpatine -> Gear XIII, Relic 1, 2 Zetas, Speed 231 (+89), 6x Potency Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 16 Speed, 1x 13 Speed, 1x 11 Speed, 1x 10 Speed, 1x 9 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed
Darth Vader -> Gear XIII. Relic 2, 2 Zetas, Speed 211 (+70), 6x Health Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 2x 12 Speed, 1x 8 Speed, 1x 6 Speed, Primary Mod Stat: 1x 32 Speed)
Grand Admiral Thrawn -> Gear XIII, Relic 1, 2 Zetas, Speed 272 (+102), 4x Speed + 2x Health Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 16 Speed, 1x 14 Speed, 1x 13 Speed, 1x 10 Speed, Primary Stat 1x 32 Speed)
Commander Luke Skywalker -> Gear XIII, Relic 1, 3 Zetas, Speed 253 (+81), 2x Health + 2x Defense + 1 Crit Chance + 1 Tenacity Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 1x 16 Speed, 1x 13 Speed, 1x 10 Speed, 1x 8 Speed, 1x 4 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)
Scavenger Rey -> Gear XIII, Relic 2, 1 Zeta, Speed 279 (+95), 6x Health Mod Type (Secondary Stat: 2x 16 Speed, 2x 12 Speed, 1x 9 Speed, Primary Stat: 1x 30 Speed)

Makes a total of 7 Mods with 20+ Speed for him and 0 for me. Some of them even have the other stats unaltered and only Speed got improved! And now tell me that this is right.

You can't imagine how long I've been trying to improve or replace all of my mods with better ones. Millions of credits, countless energy, countless slicing parts spent, and still the same crap!

Shoot me.

[PsychoSith]

Really? 200.000? What dit the boss/manager say?

I was not privy to that conversation.

[Kunaicheesnep24]

So I see a lot of venting here and a lot of people praising US but I myself have a grievance with US and that is that not once but twice has my order been backlogged for twice as long as stated due to sales being too much for the company to handle I will admit that the first time the team did me right with my issue as they sent my fiancé her saber before Christmas(though mine did not make it til February) this time however they are so swamped with orders that I haven’t even recieved an email back from them other than the auto response I’ve emailed them twice

Hey there, Kunaicheesnep. Although we can understand where you're coming from, please post any grievances and lead time/email chatter to the (im)Patiently Waiting Thread since this thread is meant for venting anything not saber related.  Thank you for your cooperation

It's been six (6) days since the last vent. What's not wrong with you people?

This is how I feel when I go out in public lately...

[Galef]

It seems like ever since I started ordering sabers, all I ever do is wait on mail. Not just for sabers, but batteries, clothing items, miniatures, etc.
I didn't used to order so much online.

In general everything has gone smoothly, even if some things take a while.
But I'm kinda pissed about a medieval cowl I ordered to customize my jedi costume. Ordered it over a week ago and they created the shipping label immediately, but it sat wherever it was for a freakin WEEK before being "on it's way to the USPS" from its partner facility.
It isn't scheduled to get here till Monday. Yet I ordered a Boba Fett helmet 2 days ago and it's already been accepted by USPS and should be here Friday.

Both items are coming from California, so why the heck did it take so long to ship my first item?

On a positive note, this weekend should be awesome since the Fett helmet AND my Apprentice V4 staff are scheduled to arrive Friday and my Jedi cowl by Monday.
I was hoping for a slow trickle of items to keep my busy as I waited for my other saber orders, but it looks like I'll get several at once.

Shipping label being created just means they printed it out.  Many companies do Bulk shipment pickups...meaning they don't send anything out till they have a certain number.  Your Cowl may have been the first or middle of a bulk and your helmet the last one in a bulk.

Yup.  I ordered a 3D printer mid-April from the manufacture.  I received a shipping label notice the next day.  It wasn't shipped until May 14 (got it last Thursday).

Yes, I figured that was what was going on, but it doesn't make it any less annoying to be checking status for 7 days straight with no movement.
I'm an ebay seller as well and it's very important to me that I ship any orders within 24hrs of payment.
Bulk shipment or not, 7 days is far too long to go from label creation to acceptance at the postal service.
It's going to take long enough in the postal system as is.

That said, I'm not that upset about it. I was just hoping I was going to get it last weekend so I can make alterations. If it comes next Monday, I'll have to wait to have proper time to do it. I work 10hr days but get Fridays and weekends off, so I try to save projects and videos till then.
Not to mention how distracted I'll be if my saber staff and Fett helmet come around the same time.

We all understand THAT, I’m pretty sure!
